The dripper 2 is overlapped with the shielding layer 3, and the dripper 2 is covered by the shielding layer 3 to prevent the dripper 2 from directly contacting with soil, thus solving the problem of blockage of the dripper of the pipeline due to external buried soil and negative pressure. Moreover, drip irrigation water flowing out of the dripper 2 seeps out along a sewing gap of the shielding layer 3.

[0033] In this embodiment, the shielding layer 3 is made of a cloth material with a permeable function, and the drip irrigation water flowing out of the dripper 2 seeps out along pores of the cloth material, and thus the uniformity of infiltration in soil through drip irrigation is improved. The cloth material is non-woven cloth or anti-corrosion organic material permeable cloth.

[0034] In this embodiment, the shielding layer 3 is partially wrapped around the drip infiltration pipe strip 1, both side edges of the shielding layer 3 along the length direction are sewed onto the drip infiltration pipe strip 1, and a sewing thread of the shielding layer 3 is embedded into a pipe wall of the drip irrigation pipe strip 1. The sewing thread does not penetrate through the pipe wall of the drip infiltration pipe strip 1, and a sewing edge of the shielding layer 3 is far away from the dripper 2.

[0035] Based on the structure of the anti-blocking drip infiltration pipe strip in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, a production line for producing the anti-blocking drip infiltration pipe strip is disclosed. The production line includes a cloth releasing machine 5, a cloth guiding machine 6, a sewing machine 7, a traction machine 8, and a winding device 9 arranged in sequence. The drip infiltration pipe strip 1 passes through the sewing machine 7 and the traction machine 8 in sequence and then is wound by the winding device 9. The cloth guiding machine 6 is arranged at one side of the drip infiltration pipe strip 1 to guide the cloth material to the sewing machine 7, and the sewing machine 7 is used to sew both side edges of the cloth material onto the drip infiltration pipe strip 1.Embodiment 2

[0036] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the shielding layer 3 is made of a cloth material with a permeable function. The shielding layer 3 is completely wrapped around the drip irrigation strip 1, both side edges of the shielding layer 3 along the length direction are partially overlapped and sewed together to form a permeable cloth sleeve which is sleeved outside the drip infiltration pipe strip 1. In this embodiment, drip irrigation water flowing out of the dripper 2 seeps out slowly along the pores of the cloth material and the sewing gap. Both side edges of the shielding layer 3 along the length direction are partially overlapped and sewed, thus preventing tree roots from penetrating into an interlayer between the drip infiltration pipe strip 1 and the shielding layer 3.

[0037] The remaining structure of the anti-blocking drip infiltration pipe strip is the same as that in Embodiment 1.

[0038] Based on the structure of the anti-blocking drip infiltration pipe strip in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, a production line for producing the anti-blocking drip infiltration pipe strip is disclosed. The production line includes a cloth releasing machine 5, a cloth guiding machine 6, a sewing machine 7, a traction machine 8, and a winding device 9 arranged in sequence. The drip infiltration pipe strip 1 passes through the sewing machine 7 and the traction machine 8 in sequence and then is wound by the winding device 9. The cloth guiding machine 6 is arranged at one side of the drip infiltration pipe strip 1 to guide the cloth material to the sewing machine 7, and the sewing machine 7 is used to sew both side edges of the cloth material together. In this embodiment, a cloth guiding groove with a diameter larger than a diameter of the drip irrigation pipe is formed in the cloth guiding machine 6, and the cloth strip is wound around the drip infiltration pipe strip 1 along a longitudinal extension direction of the drip irrigation pipe.Embodiment 3

[0039] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the shielding layer is made of a plastic cloth strip, which is an impermeable structure, and several turbulent protrusions 301 are arranged on an inner side wall of the plastic cloth strip.

[0040] In this embodiment, the shielding layer 3 is partially wrapped around the drip infiltration pipe strip 1, both side edges of the shielding layer 3 along the length direction are sewed onto the drip infiltration pipe strip 1, and a sewing thread of the shielding layer 3 is embedded into a pipe wall of the drip irrigation pipe strip 1. The sewing thread does not penetrate through the pipe wall of the drip infiltration pipe strip 1, and a sewing edge of the shielding layer 3 is far away from the dripper 2.

[0041] In this embodiment, the drip irrigation water flowing out of the dripper 2 flows to an interlayer between the plastic cloth strip and the drip infiltration pipe strip 1. Due to the turbulent protrusions 301, it is convenient for the water in the interlayer to circulate longitudinally and transversely, and then the water can slowly seep out along a sewing gap of the plastic cloth strip. It should be noted that the turbulent protrusions 301 form a support at the sewing part of the plastic strip, it is convenient to form the gap to facilitate the drip irrigation water to seep out. The several turbulent protrusions 301 also play a role in compensating for the secondary turbulence of the water flow in the interlayer. The height of the several turbulent protrusions 301 is controlled within 1 mm.

[0042] In this embodiment, several transverse heat-sealing structures 4 are arranged at interval along the length direction of the drip infiltration pipe strip 1, and the shielding layer 3 and the sewing thread of the shielding layer 3 are heat-sealed to the drip infiltration pipe strip 1 by the transverse heat-sealing structures 4. Therefore, the lift height of the drip infiltration pipe strip 1 can be significantly increased when used on high slopes. The remaining structure of the anti-blocking drip infiltration pipe strip is the same as that in Embodiment 1.

[0043] Based on the structure of the anti-blocking drip infiltration pipe strip in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, a production line for producing the anti-blocking infiltration pipe strip is disclosed. The production line includes a cloth releasing machine 5, a cloth guiding machine 6, a sewing machine 7, a heat-sealing machine 10, a traction machine 8, and a winding device 9 arranged in sequence. The drip infiltration pipe strip 1 passes through the sewing machine 7 and the traction machine 8 in sequence and then is wound by the winding device 9. The cloth guiding machine 6 is arranged at one side of the drip infiltration pipe strip 1 to guide the cloth material to the sewing machine 7, and the sewing machine 7 is used to sew two side edges of the cloth material onto the drip infiltration pipe strip 1. The heat-sealing machine 10 is used to intermittently and transversely fuse the sewed drip infiltration pipe strip 1 with the plastic cloth strip to form a transverse heat-sealing structure 4.Embodiment 4

[0044] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the shielding layer 3 is made of a plastic cloth strip without a permeable function. The shielding layer 3 is completely wrapped around the drip irrigation pipe strip 1, and both side edges of the shielding layer 3 along the length direction are partially overlapped and then sewed together to form a cloth sleeve which is sleeved outside the drip infiltration pipe strip 1. In this embodiment, drip irrigation water flowing out of the dripper 2 seeps out slowly along the sewing gap of the plastic cloth strip.

[0045] Several turbulent protrusions 301 are arranged on an inner side wall of the plastic cloth strip. The drip irrigation water flowing out of the dripper 2 flows to an interlayer between the plastic cloth strip and the drip infiltration pipe strip 1. Due to the turbulent protrusions 301, it is convenient for the water in the interlayer to circulate longitudinally and transversely, and then the water can slowly seep out along a sewing gap of the plastic cloth strip. It should be noted that the turbulent protrusions 301 form a support at the sewing part of the plastic strip, it is convenient to form the gap to facilitate the drip irrigation water to seep out. The several turbulent protrusions 301 also play a role in compensating for the secondary turbulent of the water flow in the interlayer.

Therefore, the lift height of the drip infiltration pipe strip 1 can be significantly increased when used on high slopes.

[0047] The remaining structure of the anti-blocking drip infiltration pipe strip is the same as that in Embodiment 3.
